I stayed here in September 2012 and this was my first visit to Santorini. I am pleased that I stayed in Kamari - it is easy to get a bus to other parts of the island but there are plenty of restaurants and shops in Kamari if you want to stay near your hotel. Hotel was easy to find and... More

Hippocampus was perfect for us - amazing price given it is only 1 minute walk to the beach! Clean, comfortable, modern bathroom and good space. Our host was very friendly and provided a basic (compared to 5star hotel buffet breakfasts that is) but yummy breakfast! The greek yoghurt was the best. DEFINITELY recommend this hotel!!

Nice spot, near the sea and restaurants. Price is very good compared to quality you get. It is a family owned hotel ans it really does show. They will take good care of you. Breakfast was ok. Pool area was very nice and calm. I would definitely go to this hotel again!

Hippocampus hotel is situated in Kamari; next to the beach - near the capital Fira. When we arrived at Hippocampus, we were welcomed with opened arms from the family-run hotel. They quickly showed us to our room and my first thoughts were: (Pros) 1) Very modern. 2) Air conditioning works very well. 3) Big bathroom. (Cons) 1) Small kitchen. 2)... More

The hotel is situated just half a minute walk from Kamari beach where close by you can also take up water sports such as kite board e.t.c. The hotel is absolutely fabulous in many senses. The pool is not too large, in a curved shape, with a maximum depth of 1m65. A pool sign says "no diving" however many kids... More

We had an amazing time at the hotel Ippocampus. Toula, the owner, was so friendly, always willing to help and answer all our questions. The room was very clean and cosy, with all the necessary facilities. The hotel is beautiful, the pool amazing and the flowers around the building made the scenery astonishing! Two minutes away from the beach and... More

I am having breakfast on the patio of the Hippocampus Hotel. The patio is shaded by a bougainvillea vine with pink flowers. Nearby is an enormous gardenia plant laden with exotic, white fragrant blossoms. Beyond that is a Jasmine vine covering the remainder of the patio and exuding a delicate, intoxicating fragrance. Vases containing Stargazer lilies are on the tables... More

Perfect location 60 seconds from the promenade & beach, very nice, new, clean rooms that were very affordable.
